  • Did you start your function definition with def?
  • Does your function name have only characters and _ (underscore) characters?
  • Did you put an open parenthesis ( right after the function name?
  • Did you put your arguments after the parenthesis ( separated by commas?
  • Did you make each argument unique (meaning no duplicated names)?
  • Did you put a close parenthesis and a colon ): after the arguments?
  • Did you indent all lines of code you want in the function four spaces? No more, no less.
  • Did you “end” your function by going back to writing with no indent (dedenting we call it)?

When you run (“use” or “call”) a function, check these things:

  • Did you call/use/run this function by typing its name?
  • Did you put the ( character after the name to run it?
  • Did you put the values you want into the parenthesis separated by commas?
  • Did you end the function call with a ) character?
